Why the pairing, specs and FAQ
Custom hand built Kinlin wheels on Velocity hubs
Our order records show more than 60 Kinlin wheels laced to Velocity hubs since 2009. We lace each wheel by hand in our Georgia shop: tensioned evenly, trued flat and round, and stress-relieved before it ships. Spoke lengths are calculated from the measured dimensions of your exact rim and hub.
What Kinlin rims and Velocity hubs each bring
- KLM41 alloy. Kinlin developed this aluminum alloy with manganese and niobium, and lists the XR-31, TL-23 and TL-29 in it. Kinlin says it offers twice the elongation of conventional alloys, so the metal stretches further before it fails.
- T-10 process. Kinlin cold works each rim once it is round, rolling it twice on a patented machine, and only then heat treats it for 8 hours. It rates that higher in total strength and steadier in durability than the T-6 process it compares against.
- Steps kept in house. Kinlin says it runs the T-10 courses in house, including cold working, heat treatment, surface treating, drilling and finishing, and that T-6 makers outsource most of theirs. One factory stays responsible for the rim from start to finish.
- One front hub, three axle standards. Velocity's convertible disc front hubs include the parts to switch between 9mm quick release, 12mm thru axle and 15mm thru axle, so a new fork does not have to mean a new hub.
- Rear hubs for the wide standards. The disc rears run through 148mm Boost and 157mm Super Boost, and the fat bike rears through 170/177mm and 190/197mm. Velocity also lists a tandem disc rear, which helps when the bike is not a standard road or trail frame.
- Bearings with nothing to adjust. Most Velocity hubs use cartridge bearings with weather-resistant seals, and Velocity sets the preload for you. It is clear that sealed does not mean waterproof, so a hub that has been pressure washed or submerged needs a mechanic's attention.
Kinlin and Velocity custom wheel questions
Which Velocity hub fits my Kinlin rim?
The cards on this page start on the Velocity hub our customers build with each rim most often (Velocity Race 6-bolt, Velocity Standard Atb, Velocity Race Centerlock). The builder lists every Velocity hub that fits your rim, in the drillings and brake types that match.
Do you build Kinlin rims on other hubs?
Yes. See our Kinlin custom wheel page for every hub that fits each Kinlin rim, or our Velocity custom wheel page for every rim on a Velocity hub.
Can you build with a Velocity hub or Kinlin rim I already own?
Yes. Choose the supply-your-own option in the configurator, ship it to us, and we will lace it into a new wheel with new spokes cut to the right length. You pay for the parts you need and the build labor.
How long will my wheel take?
Build time comes down to parts availability rather than bench time. Your estimated ship date is shown in the configurator before you check out, so you know the date before you pay.
Not sure what to pick? Email info@prowheelbuilder.com (fastest) or leave a voicemail on 470-253-0929. You will be talking to the people who build the wheels.
